Investigative Genetic Genealogy (IGG) offers an exciting new opportunity to help Law Enforcement give names back to unidentified human remains and help solve criminal cases. Since the first high-profile case was solved in 2018, well over a thousand cases have been cracked using IGG.
In this presentation, Marie Palmer, a Canadian Accredited Investigative Genetic Genealogist with numerous case solves, will give an overview of IGG and walk through a Canadian case study about one of her first successful identifications. Additionally, she will discuss how people can help or get involved.
Registration required.

What is the true meaning of “success” in life? What is a “good education”?
Join the discussion as we talk about the eternal Big Questions, moderated by a trained philosopher. The moderator’s aim is not to find winners and losers in a debate, but to use all viewpoints as clues to the puzzle that, if completed, would offer us a truth of sorts. A different topic each time. All are welcome, including those who would rather mostly listen.
Facilitated by: Dr. Stephen Hare
In person, drop in.
We also host an evening session on one Wednesday evening a month for folks who can’t make it during the day.
